Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Dark blue fabric with a repeating pattern of white, curvy lines and shapes. The white lines form floral motifs and swirling vines. Scattered throughout the design are small, solid-colored shapes in orange, green, and yellow. The fabric is rectangular and has a beige border around it. The border appears to be a separate piece of material, possibly paper or cardboard. In the bottom-left corner of the image, outside the border, is red text.
